Store expensive tech gear like cameras in a dry cabinet.
During the monsoon season, humidity tends to be a major contributor to tech breakdowns. This can be due to sudden changes in temperature, which can cause moisture to build up on devices like cameras—leading to mold growth or even electronic device failure. For this, having a dry cabinet like the HINISO AD-30C can come in quite handy, as it stores your tech safely and prevents rust, oxidation, mold, and moisture build-up.

Do not charge your phone after it gets wet.
It goes without saying, but plugging in a wet phone or electronic device to charge can be very damaging. So if there is water in the charging port, be careful and don’t plug in the charger until it’s completely dry. Smartphones usually warn users whenever they detect moisture in the charging port, but in most cases, users ignore the warning and by the time they realize what they’ve done, it’s often too late.

Using the air conditioner without cleaning the filter and without using dry mode
Most air conditioner manufacturers recommend that users clean the dust filter regularly to maintain optimal functionality. This is necessary to ensure that there is no mold build-up inside the air conditioner. Additionally, if your air conditioner has a Dry Mode, this can be very helpful in combating high humidity. This mode works by reducing the humidity inside your room by adjusting the compressor. This also prevents water from dripping from the air conditioner and maintains a cool and dry environment in your room.
